The water comes from inside the cable. I've really got no ideas at this point - it's happened with every manufacturer and on different sites. No pattern to it (yet, hopefully...)
Those do look really nice - I like the idea of 3 cables per grommit and it would simply be RJ45 again (as opposed to rj45ecs).
